Similarly, the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) has released guidelines on how voters should choose their candidates. PPCRV national chairperson Henrietta de Villa said the guidelines are all about the power of voters “that is equal in value with the rich and famous…” “It is only during elections when you exercise your right and responsibility to vote… beholden to none but your conscience, your country and your God,” she said. Here are the PPRCV’s 10 Commandments for Responsible Voting: 1. Vote according to the dictates of your conscience. 2. Respect the decision of others in choosing their candidates. 3. Seek to know the moral integrity, capabilities, and other personal qualities of the candidates you will vote for. 4. Strive to understand the issues, platform, and programs of candidates and parties campaigning for your vote. 5. Do not sell your vote. 6. Do not vote for candidates using guns, goons, gold, and glitter. 7. Do not vote for candidates tainted with graft and corruption. 8. Do not vote for candidates simply because of “utang na loob” (debt of gratitude), popularity, good looks, or “pakikisama” (peer pressure). 9. Do not vote for candidates living an immoral life. 10. Always put the welfare of the country as top priority in choosing the candidate you will vote for..
